- an advertisement for a program is presented within the display of a communication or productivity application software program 301 .
- a list of choices 310 may be provided.
- the receiver could operate based on a default mode, for example, immediately selecting the channel with the advertised program, or in response to the user desiring to record the program advertised (perhaps by activating a RECORD button), immediately set up a one-touch recording.
- the user selects one of the choices, and the receiver responds correspondingly. For example, if the choice is to tune to a channel 31 2, the receiver will immediately tune to the subject channel. This may be achieved by either presenting the video in a small window and the user may continue to use the application software program, or the video will take up the entire screen and the user must actively return to the application. The user's work is automatically saved regardless of the selected choice. Alternatively, a dialog box may appear asking the user whether to save the current work or not.
- the user could choose to record the program 320. This would result in programming a timer, for example, in the television or the video recording apparatus 322.
- the computer application software program for example, a productivity or communication application is operated in a video processing apparatus, such as a television, VCR, DVD or the like.
- a video processing apparatus such as a television, VCR, DVD or the like.
- a user selects an advertisement (or possibly an icon associated therewith) that is displayed within the context of computer application software program .
- Figure 4 illustrates one such communication application software program, i.e., an electronic mail message program 400.
- Electronic mail message program 400 is operated on a video processing apparatus, for example, the television receiver of Figure 1 or 2, or any other appropriate video processing apparatus.
- Other electronic messaging programs for example, instant messaging, may also be employed with the present invention.
- productivity application software programs such as, word processing, spreadsheets or the like, may also be employed with the present invention.
- An advertisement 402 is displayed within an area of electronic mail message program display 400.
- a typical electronic message display 400 includes fields 404 for the SENDER, the RECIPIENT, the SUBJECT and the body of the MESSAGE.
- display 400 also include ICONs 406, which can be selected to invoke certain functions, such as, SEND a message, READ a message, view the user's ADDRESS BOOK, etc.
- the video processor receives the data (i.e., advertisement data) associated with the advertisement.
- This advertisement data may include program start time, program end time, program duration; the channel via which the program is transmitted, and characteristic information, and combinations thereof .
- characteristic information examples include program title, program theme, program category, program keywords, a program description, program type (e.g. audio, video, audiovisual, computer, Internet, and the like), and program repeat frequency (e.g., once per week, daily, etc.).
- program title e.g., program theme, program category, program keywords, a program description, program type (e.g. audio, video, audiovisual, computer, Internet, and the like), and program repeat frequency (e.g., once per week, daily, etc.).
- program type e.g. audio, video, audiovisual, computer, Internet, and the like
- program repeat frequency e.g., once per week, daily, etc.
- Figure 5 shows an optional and subsequent display of the communication application program of Figure 4 in response to the user's selection of advertisement 402.
- Figure 5 illustrates an embodiment of a user selection display 500 in which the user is presented with certain options that may be selected. For example, the user may choose to now tune to the channel that the program will be broadcast on 502. Alternately, the user may choose to automatically tune to that channel when the program starts 504 or program a recording timer to establish a recording event 506. Further, the user may select to visit an appropriate web site 508 related to the selected advertisement.
- the display of Figure 5 may not be produced; upon selection of advertisement 402, the video processing apparatus may either directly tune to the appropriate channel or set-up a recording event without further user intervention.
- the video processing apparatus can now be operated in a video-operating mode, for example, automatically selecting a channel, in response to the advertisement data if it is currently being aired.
- the video processing apparatus may be operated to set-up to automatically record the program in the future. This may be achieved by setting-up a "one-touch recording" operating mode or by programming timers with the CHANNEL and TIME information. If the advertisement data only contains "program information", such as the name of the program, then the data can be processed by the electronic program guide to determine the CHANNEL and TIME information.
- One touch recording involves setting up a programmed event in the video processing apparatus that receives the electronic program guide, usually, the television.
- the television controls the recording device.
- the invention also embraces the concept of conflict management. That is, if the selection of an advertisement results in the setting up of a one-touch recording which may conflict with an existing programmed event in the recording device, the system must be able to resolve the conflict.
- One possible outcome is that the most recent desires of the user, i.e., the selection of the advertisement overrides the existing programmed event.
- Another option would be to indicate the conflict to the user when the advertisement is selected, thereby allowing the user an opportunity to resolve the conflict.
- the present invention finds much usefulness in the realm of electronic host devices, which are connected to or defined by a television set, the present invention is not limited to such electronic host devices.
- the present invention may be implemented, for example, with a computer as the electronic host device.
- This invention may also be employed with advertisements for programs that are displayed in connection with web browsers. It is to be understood that the embodiments and variations shown and described herein are for illustrations only and that those skilled in the art by implement various modifications without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
